exception-without-exc-info (LOG007)#
Derived from the flake8-logging linter.
What it does#
Checks for uses of logging.exception() with exc_info set to False.
Why is this bad?#
The logging.exception() method captures the exception automatically, but
accepts an optional exc_info argument to override this behavior. Setting
exc_info to False disables the automatic capture of the exception and
stack trace.
Instead of setting exc_info to False, prefer logging.error(), which
has equivalent behavior to logging.exception() with exc_info set to
False, but is clearer in intent.
Example#
Use instead:
